Christ United Methodist Church is located on Woodstock Road at Bowen Road, and was originally chartered in 1969. It is currently presided over by Rev. Keith Lawder, who joined in June 2008. Christ United is a welcoming congregation, and anyone can join. The church has experienced fast growth over the years, but its staff and members want it to keep the intimacy of a small congregation even as it addresses the needs of a larger flock. Christ United has a professional staff and encourages lay involvement.
